Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Man I bet crap like this happened all the time, just no one was paying attention until now.

probably.

but whatever it takes to get people to realize these rigs are a dumb idea is cool i guess.

What is really cool is you not differentiating between oil rigs and poor regulation and standards adherence.

But whatever, fuck that noise.

Also plain ol' shit happens.

Even with regulatory compliance it is possible to have a major incident. I'm not excusing it when these happen, especially when the company was blatantly ignoring safety, but no chemical process will ever be 100% safe.
